Herbs For Lung Health

According to the Vitamins to Health website, mullein, angelica, elecampane, ginger, thyme, and coltsfoot, all act as expectorants, turning unhealthy mucous buildup into a more fluid substance that is easier to detox. Garlic also has expectorant abilities as well as strong antibacterial qualities in case the lungs are harboring any type of infection. Fresh garlic made into a tea with lemon and honey, is great for lung health. Cinnamon is great for the digestive system, promoting smoother and regular function of the lungs.Vitamins
